THE COMING EIiECTION THE big celebration of last week pushed local politic* entirely Into the background. Hardly were the primary results known before the city began to put on Its holiday clothes end everybody but the candidates tem porarily lost Interest in the coming election. Now that the Jubilee Is a thing of the past, doubtless politics will come into its own again and we may expect the usual heated discus sions that precede the annual "saving of the country." So far as the Republican prospect in Dauphin county is concerned there is very little reason for anybody to >,et excited. The ticket nominated last week was selected by the members of the party from a large Held. The ma-; jorlties indicate that the nominees are distinctly the choice of the rank and file. Even more Important, perhaps, it happens that those chosen to lead the party this Fall are all men of high reputation and ability and unpledged as to the conduct of the offices "to which they aspire. An analysis of the ticket also shows that almost every section of the county is well repre sented. The upper* end, the lower end, the eastern sections, the city and Steel ton all have their candidates. It must also be considered that this promises to be a distinctly Republican year. The registration in the city and the enrollment in the county plainly show this. Every Indication points to the election of every Republican on the ticket. This conclusion is all the more apparent when one considers the oppo sition, composed as It is of a combine effected by the Democratic bosses and the discredited bosses of the all-but dead Washington party. The candi dates named on this "mule ticket" last Tuesday were one and all picked in advance by these self-appointed dic tators and the "slate'' thus made went through without a hitch. Never was there such a perfect example of a •machine-made" ticket in Dauphin county. There is no secret about this. The voter knows It and he will register hie opinion of It at the polls in No vember. There has been much favorable com ment throughout the city upon the fact that the Chamber of Commerce, through its officers and committees, ar ranged and financed the entire munici pal celebration with the exception of the school parade, which was In the hands of the officers of the school dis trict, the superintendent, supervisors, principals and teachers. The co-opera tion- of municipal officials and boards, the firemen and the community gener ally made effective the comprehensive plans and assured the success that fol lowed. WAR AND INDUSTRY DIRECTLY reversing the state ments of Secretary of Commerce Redfield that revival of Amer ican industry was not due to war or ders, the Department of Commerce h«s just given out a statement con cluding with the assertion that "sur veying the whole field, It may justly be said that the world's conflict has be*n of unmeasured value to Amer ican Industry as a whole." The same statement contains prac tical admissions of the soundness of Lhe protective tariff principle. The 'J»partment's bulletin says: In a more or less uncomfortable way, we have suddenly been brought to the unwisdom, the folly, of shipping vast amounts of the crude materia) of our farms forests, and mines 3.000 miles across the ocean, and buying It hack In a manufactured form, at a vastly enhanced price. We have likewise come to recognize the absurdity of allowing many natural products of the tropics, of South America, of the Far East, to find their way to Europe, and of paying foreign In telligence and skill to transform them into articles of dally need In <iur lives. This attitude now taken by a de partment under the control of a Dem ocratic Administration is exactly what Republicans have contended for from the foundation of the party. During every Democratic Administration we have shipped r&w material abroad and brought it back in manufactured form at a vastly increased price. We were doing exactly that under the MONDAY EVENING, present Democratic tariff law until the European war Intervened and served as a protective wall to cut off foreign Imports. Probably nothing that has come out of the Department of Commerce will serve more to embarrass the Demo cratic party in the coming campaign than this statement . expressly acknowledging the vital importance of manufacturing goods at home. The Department points to the course of events that followed the cutting oft bjJ war of the aniline imports from Ger many and the supply of potash from the same source, with the resulting "tremendous impulse given to the ex pansion of domestic manufacture." The department might as well have made its acknowledgment apply to a long list of commodities heretofore supplied largely from abroad, but cut ofT by the war "with resulting tre mendous Impulse to the expansion of domestic manufacture." In the acknowledgment of facts as they exist, the department seems to have made a complete confession. In expression of opinion it does not go so far, for it says that it "does not believe that the cost of production in the warring countries of Europe will be lowered as a result of the war. or that there will be danger from that source to the holding of new markets already gained." In view of the fact that the department's opinions have been found erroneous so many times in the past, there will be little dispo sition on the part'of the businessmen of the United States to accept the mere opinions of the department as a guar antee against the return of exactly the same conditions which the depart ment now admits were unfortunate for this country and which the war alone served to overthrow. Upon the close of the war, millions of men will return to active indus try and the removal of the shipping embargo will release a vast quantity of manufactured articles now held in Germany because of the destruc tion of> that country's merchant ma rine. Those are facts which the de partment will be compelled eventually to admit, along with other admis sions reluctantly made. THE CELEBRATION ENDS THE curtain has dropped upon the most unique and successful of the several civic demonstra tions which have punctuated the prog ress of Harrisburg during the" last fif teen years. It was a splendid demon stration from start to finish of the loyalty of the people, the enterprise of our citizenry and the intelligent co operation of all classes. But the first and greatest tribute must be paid the Chamber of Com merce as the organization which fin anced and through its committees ar ranged the several Important events which comprised the harmonious whole. From the impressive educa tional meeting and exhibit of Wednes day evening until the cabaret and the festivities incident thereto on Satur day evening the affair was In every proper sense an expression of the joy of the people over a new city, a more wholesome and inviting place in which to live and a growing and prosperous community. And the lesson which it teaches is the lesson of helpful civic development. Instead of slip-shod, spasmodic, hit and-miss methods of procedure Har risburg started fifteen years ago in the right way. It called in the distin guished experts of the country tb pass in a disinterested and scientific way upon those things which required amendment, and change. And upon their recommendations were based the important Improvements which have been so consistently and efficiently, carried forward to the present day. It is little wonder that other cities have come to Harrisburg as the Greeks to the feet of Gamaliel for instruction, and the Harrisburg plan Is the sensi ble, practical, simple plan of knowing how to do It and then doing it well. It was a celebration well worth the effort and our people are happier to day and better by reason of the fact that they have greater confidence, If possible, in themselves and in their ability to do big thing* In a big and broad and generous spirit. There can be little doubt that the next step In our development will be taken In the same practical fashion. All the people must have a part and whatever Is done must be done in the open and with full publicity of every important phase of our future expansion. Muni cipal officials and bodies will co-oper ate in the future as In the splendid epoch which has come to such a glor ious close In providing for the things that are to come in a way which will earn for them the blessings of gener ations yet unborn. For the Chamber of Commerce and all the bodies and individual* there is the grateful appreciation of a people who understand thoroughly that these bodies, official and unofficial, are giv ing disinterested personal service for the good of all.

The Keystone party made, its first entry into the political arena as a distinctly State I organization. It was organized in the summer of 1910 and with Berry as its candidate came very close to winning the Gubernatorial election of that year. In 1911, the Keystoners effected fusion with the Democrats and Blank enburg and Ryan were victorious. While the Keystone party still has a column on the ballot, the organization is Gibboney-controlled and the inde pendents will hot touch it. The Wash ington party was organized in 1912 In the Interest of Colonel Roosevelt for President, and has been more or less active since that time as a State party.

TELBORAPS LA TIN-AMERICAN TEMPERAMENT By Frederic J. Haskir THE fact must be admitted, In the flr*t place, that we have an ex ceedingly poor opinion of the Latin Americans, and they of us. We have written volumes and reams about them, and they about us. But in each case it is the differences, the curious and striking tilings that have been pointed out, while the numberless simi larities have been overlooked. It Is surprising how much a Peruvian or a Panamanian is like a Chicagoan [ or liostonian when you coine to Know I him. The principal difference lies In one (hing—temperament. Where the Bustonlan thlntts twice and goes and consults his lawyers ana starts a suit that lasts for ten years, the South American, very liKely, does not think at all, but pulls his gun and settles the matter rign there. The Latin-Americans are t.,e peoples of young countries, and their point 01 view Is that ot youtn. partisan, intensely enthusiastic, loud ot pleasure, pernaps a bit cruel, tlieir qualities are tne ones that belong to real the world over. It must be aumitteu they lacK stability, but stabil ity is a characteristic that rests upon wealth ana traditions ana a stable I government. We were a bit Impul sive ourselves back In the days ot 'l6 when even Uostonians became suffi ciently excited to throw a lot of per leqtiy gooa iea into the ocean, 'iliat •s an act with wmch any Latin Amen cnii can tnorouguiy sympathise. Mango causes TrouDle The prevailing i\ortii American opin ion on the toum American disposition 18 well illustrated uy an explanation of the''cause ot revolutions mat one otteti hears from Americans in -South America. They say the real cuuse ol all these upheavals Is simply that too abundant trupical fruit, the mango. In the mango season, It is hardly an ex aggeration to say, nearly evuryone Jn Central and South America stops what ever he is uoing and sits down anu eats mangoes. Along in July and August, tne streets 01 some ot those little towns are literally paved with mango seeds. To the unsophisticated paiaie the mango tastes line a >eiy poor peach tupped in turpentine but let uiai pass; to the L,atin-American it is delicious, ao he Knocks ort work wnenever mango season rolls around and eats mangoes in incrediole quan tities; and iroiii the resulting idleness and inevitable gastronomic disturbance arises the revolutionary mood and ex citing things happen. net her there js anything In this theory or not, it seems to be a well established tact that a large number of Latin-American revolutions take place directly after the mango season. In point of tact, however, the North American might well take a lesson from his southern neighbor in the spirit, If not in the conduct, of his pol itics. It is true that the Lalnt-Ameri can takes his politics so seriously that he can witn ditliculty be prevented from expressing his convictions with a six-shooter; out how about the nu merous citizens of the United states who take them so lightly that they never go to the polls at all? Which bodes best for the ultimate realisa tion of political Ideals a fiery and Irrepressible enthusiasm, or a letliaralc Indifference?

He has got to use the brand of oratory that appeals to Ills constituents, and If he starts a revolution he has 'got to see It through. And no one has ever yet been able to justly accuse him of lacking courage or resourcefulness in doing so. It is said that while Panama was controlled by Columbia there were fifty-seven revolutions in that part of the country in llfty-four years. It is a!lso true that there have been no-rev olutions since Uncle JJam went down there to build the canal. When the first one started, he furnished some soldiers to keep It down, and when the next election day came around the Panamanian authorities asked for the assistance of the soldiers, and an or derly election was held. Which shows that, contrary to popular opinion, the Latin-American Is well aware of his shortcomings and is missing no oppor tunity to attain the blessings of or derly government. Fiery Debate An American banker in a certain Latin-American city not long ago de termined to organize a chamber of commerce. After much palavering he finally got a large number of the merchants of the ulty together, and during a heated session of two hours a name for the. organization was de cided upon without disrupting It. A small and harmonious committee was then appointed to draw up the by-laws. The American banker made a careful plan to have these by-laws accepted. He instructed one of his closest per sonal friends to rise as soon as the reading of the by-laws began, and make an emphatic motion that they be accepted by acclamation. This man, however, was a little stow getting to his feet. The first two articles of the by-laws were read, and a fiery and oratorical debate Was started, which lasted for two hours. At last, how ever. this was gotten under control and the by-laws passed. Then came the question of electing a president. There were about nine nom inations, but along in the early hours of the night all had been eliminated but two, and these there was a tie and also a bitter feud in which every man present took part upon one side or the other. The American finally proposed that since voting did not seem to present a solution, the win ner should be chosen by drawing straws. As soon as this was done, the newly elected president made a speech, saying that he had not been propcrlv treated, and resigned. So after a seven hour session that was no president elected after all. Nevertheless, afttsr being delicately urged by a large com mittee appointed for the purpose, the president consented to serve, and the chamber of commerce Is to-day a thriv ing institution. It very seldom meets as a whole, for obvious reasons, but it lias an executive committee which directs its affairs in a verv capable manner. There is humor in the political and business life of Latin-America, but there Is likewise tremendous spirit and enthusiasm, and these tilings are making for To any man who remembers that the nations of Latin-America are young, that they stand, perhaps, where we did a hun dred year# ago. their present is full or- significance and their future of hope. 1 BOOKS AND MAOAZINES" "The Song of the Lake." by Willa Slbert Gather; an American novel by one of the younger novelists.

These self-styled oculists guaranteed to provide the old lady with the very glasses she needed by simply looking into her eyes, charg ing |57.50 and presenting the glasses. They didn't work, so she got another pair for $350. A suggestion that this lady's money be tied up in long' term bonds is in order, mayhap. A prominent physician of Conestoga Center, Dr. M. H. Kendig, says the Lancaster Intelligencer, made a pre diction that he would die upon a cer tain day. His two brothers and a sis ter had passed away on the same date in different years, June 20, and the doctor was obsessed with the idea that he, too, would succumb on the same date. The psychology of the thing was not sufficiently {strong to Carry out his prediction, but he died several days ago from a general breakdown. Joe Mojeski, of Reading, is a good natured cuss.

TRAGIC FAIIAJRE OF EFFICIENCY [Allentown Chronicle and News.] Prof. Hugo Muensterberg in his lat est essay describes Americans as a hysterical people. America as a coun try complacent over Eastland and Iro quois disasters, a country cursed by many cold-blooded murders. He says that the German ideals of government and the German efficiency, both of which he claims, were on the road to adoption in this country when the world war broke out, would have rid us of all this. Germany's way of gov erning would stop popular hysterics and put an end to our raw pistol work: her efficiency would make Eastland disasters impossible. Perhaps professor. But all her ideals did not save Germahy from a devastating war and all her efficien cies won't bring back to lite the three million German fathers, brothers and sons murdered during the past four teen months. France and England send over several hundred millions In gold to pay for war material and then offer to bolrow this money to pay for still more sup plies.

Even if there were no such things as , confetti, paper ribbons and other ac- " cessories of a good time in the streets, there would still be a lot of dirt and rubbish to gather up after thousands of people have been merry making in the restricted area of half a dozen blocks in the business district. As a matter of fact, there was a tremendous lot of confetti used and other forms of fun caused some of the pavements in Market street and other highways which figured In the evenings jollity, and In some cases the driveways, to be covered. Yet, each morning the city cleaned up and washed its face. The people In charge of the stores and business houses swept off the pave ments and the street force came around bright and early and carted off the evidences* of fun making. The interesting part about It is that the "white wings" were not called upon to depart from their customary work. It is so well organized that coping with Jhe reminders of a carnival did not bother It and the streets were ready for the next day's performances before most of those who were to participate in them. Harrlsburg has a wide reputation for clean streets and it certainly lived up to It last week. • * • Handling a trolley system with a vaudeville performance and band con cert going on along side was some task, but the Harrisburg Railways Company officials managed to do It all right on- Saturday night. Only one or two changes were made in the cus tomary way of running cars and th«y were slight ones. All of the cars were brought into Market Square or so close to It that there was nothing to complain of considering the fact that thousands of people were gathered In the rectangle. However, there were automobiles parked for blocks in streets that ordinarily are not used for that purpose because the Square was too jammed with people for them to enter. « • ♦ "Well, I don't know any city on my line of travel, and I get pretty well over the country, that has accom plished more in the face of difficulties and achieved distinction for public im provements than Harrlsburg and It has a right to celebrate," said a travel ing man who has been "making" Har risburg on his rounds for years. He was standing in Market Square watch ing the crowd on Saturday night. "When the old Capitol burned a good many people looked to see the seat of government go away from here and maybe it was the agitation over that subject that made some of your live men get busy. You have gone the State some better in the way of a setting for the Capitol, but I guesq when the park Is extended the Com monwealth will have done its part. But, say. why don't you put the same spirit into a modern hotel?" • • • Publication In the Telegraph the other evening of a sketch and view of the ill-fated boathouse of the Har rlsburg boat club brought back to mind memories of the days when boat ing was one of the prime sports along the river.
